Blue Rose



Nero's personally designed long ranged weapon. The Blue Rose is a unique over under barrel style revolver, this design allows it to fire two magnum rounds with each pull of the trigger. Nero is the only member of the Order of the Sword allowed to wield a firearm such as the Blue Rose because they believe guns to be dishonorable.

Like Dante's own Ebony and Ivory the Blue Rose can be charged by Nero channeling energy from the Devil Bringer into the revolver. This charge ability has three charge levels each requiring more power to be channeled from Nero's demonic arm and is represented by the Devil Bringer glowing different colors.

When the Blue Rose is fired while Nero is in his Devil Trigger form Summoned Swords similar to Vergil's are created that spin around and into the enemy, charging up the shot creates multiple swords that spin around you until the shot is fired.

Trivia

 * The Blue Rose seems to be a heavily modified Smith and Wesson Model 500 pistol. Looking closely in promotional shots the pistol was probably modeled after the largest variation with a 10.5 inch barrel configuration, and probably shoots the .50 caliber rounds that the Model 500 was originally chambered for. Among the modifications the gun has are rear sight likely for precision shooting, a six-shot cylinder rather than the five-shot, and the obvious extra barrel allowing for a double shot. The cylinder has also been modified to release on the right to reload rather than the usual left for convenience, as Nero shoots with his left hand. The gun also has a molded wooden grip and an intricate rose design carved into the gun (hence the name). Each barrel also has a muzzle brake to reduce recoil as well. The gun is also likely a double-action revolver, as Nero isn't seen pulling the hammer for every shot.
 * Curiously, when the Blue Rose is not in use, it is not shown to be holstered anywhere on Nero's body. It is implied that the holster is on his left thigh, as he will spin the gun and make a motion of holstering it on that side (for example, during the concluding scene of Mission 6).  However, the gun is never shown to be there during cutscenes or gamplay, and it instead seems to appear and disappear in Nero's hand as he uses it.
